Y'know I'm not usually a Signs From The Universe guy, but today The Universe dropped a foil rare Magic the Gathering card in front of me during my walk.

@CactuarJoe Really wish my favorite games weren't also the favorite games of wealthy collectors.

@CactuarJoe @wizardponderingorb I started playing MtG back in the Beta/Dark era and I absolutely loved it, but the rich kids fucked everything up.
Main issue was that there were a bunch of us filthy casual poors that enjoyed playing the game for the tactical "what fucked up combos and synergies can I pull" but we kept getting challenged to battles by rich kids that had spent a fortune of their parent's money on cards that let them win in 1-2 turns.
So I made a second deck, explicitly for fighting them, a pretty standard Black/Red/Green build with the usual suspects - a ton of land, some easy to get 1/1 creatures, a couple of important Artifacts, and X cards like Howl From Beyond. BUT... I also filled the deck with Ante-based cards, like my beloved Demonic Attorney.

Might be a fun arts and crafts project to try and rebuild some of my old decks as proxy decks, tho. Get some land cards, print out my old decklist and get to gluin'. Not like I'm planning on playing any official events.

I still remember most of my Stasis and Enchantress decklists, too! Oath of Druids is a bit of a blur, but I could probably figure out that ProsBloom deck I used...

There was a fucked up synergy between their decks and my ante decks, too.
Their decks ran real lean, in order to make sure they could get their hands on the killer cards. And a lot of the time they would spend Turns 1 and 2 setting up their big one-hit-kill attacks, usually by moving the cards they'd need next round to their hand or to the top of their deck using their deck management cards.
BUT
Most of the ante cards target one of two locations - your hand and the top of your deck. Even if the ante didn't pull their expensive cards, it could still be used to essentially banish structural cards that they absolutely needed to pull off their strategy
